Tip number two: It’s time for expediency readers. Bookmarking has never been made this easy. The user just needs to click the star icon found on the Awesome Bar and then the user will be allowed to create, edit and remove a bookmark. The Awesome bar is where one would find the address of the page he or she is currently looking at. The star icon can be seen on the right side of the Awesome bar. The Bookmark Button found beside the Homepage Button can also be used to manage bookmarks.

Tip number three: One can never use a shortcut without knowing about its existence. Firefox also offers shortcut keys in order to make browsing easier. It is very convenient especially to those who would actually use them. “Control + Enter” is used to add the legendary .com to the text in the Awesome Bar. “Control + Page Up or Page Down” on the other hand, is used for moving among tabs: Page Up for the previous one and Page Down for the succeeding tab. “F5” can be used to reload the page. “Control + Shift + T” makes it not excruciating for those who closed a tab by accident because it reopens the most recently closed tab. “Alt + Home” can be used to immediately go back to the Homepage. “Ctrl + T” is used for creating a new tab. “Ctrl + W” is used for closing a tab. Finally, “Ctrl + D” can be used to bookmark a page.

Tip number four: Make one’s eyes happy. Mozilla Firefox offers its users the chance to change the font size of the text for improved reading. Although this will most likely make some sites not pleasing to the eyes, it still offers text clarity. In order to do this, the user must go to: “Tools” > “Options” > “Content” > “Advanced” and then, select the font size that will best suit the reader’s eyes in the dropdown menu. Mozilla Firefox does not only give its users the chance to manipulate the font size of the text, it also allows its users to minimize the screen space taken up by icons. In order to do this, one must go to “View Menu” > select “Toolbars” > and then click the “Use small icons” box.

Tip number five: Don’t make unnecessary actions. The toolbar can be utilized to help Mozilla Firefox users. If a user performs the same actions recurrently, icons can instead be added to the toolbar for convenience. The user must go to the “View Menu” > click “Toolbars” > and then select “Customize” to add icons to the toolbar.
